I have the same lens (2-cam), and the >illumination seems remarkably even corner to corner. Definition and colour >rendering are also excellent, even at full bore - - I have the 21mm/f4 R SA also (1971 vintage). I find just a little light fall off at the extreme corners at f4. At f5.6, the illumination and colours are pretty even. I got the lens as part of an R6 kit and originally was going to sell it. First I shot a couple of parades and some paying landscape architecture work. I find it really valuable in terms of unexpected income. (I should note that I personally don't use any other lens with a focal length less than 35mm - (just prejudiced);-). Regards, Bill Larsen ohlen@lightspeed.net
